Ehhh, is it that big a deal Denny? The Sox CS% is 18% vs an AL average of 24%. The Sox have allowed 11 more SB than the average team...about 1 base per 5 games. Do the Sox focus more on the batter at the expense of the baserunner? Even ignoring that possibility, I'm just not worried about 1 base per 5 games......

It's not about focusing on the batter. Salty just does not have it.

Yes, as discussed, 1 base every 5 games. Woe is us.

Salty has thrown out 14 % before tonight. --------------Backup Ross has thrown out 24%. I am not advocating starting Ross , just pointing out something that is an obvious flaw in our game.

You are correct. That is a flaw in Softy's game. And Isabella Rossellini has a chipped tooth she's never had fixed.

That is an imperfect analogy because for many people, myself included, her willingness to not hide her "imperfection" made her look all the more attractive (my gf, physically perfect in my opinion, also has a tiny dental imperfection that I would never want her to "fix"....but I digress).

If you're gonna complain about Salty - and I think next year Sox fans will look wistfully back on the past couple of Salty years unless lightening strikes - complain about something else....Ks?

I think you should hit the pubs with a few of your mates. Have a few warm beers. Maybe play some darts. It would be better than trolling a Red Sox forum. But I digress.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, an early member of the RSN, wrote a short story on this subject.
